Oliveira Takes From Amamou

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

A raise by Rachid Amamou was called two ways including Filipe Oliveira and the trio checked the {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop. On the {2-Hearts} turn, Oliveira checked and Amamou's bet of 1,100 was called by the Portuguese only. Both then opted to check the {4-Hearts} on the river and Oliveira turned over {A-Spades}{4-Spades} for two pair.

"Nice river," Amamou sighed and sent his cards into the muck.

Small Pot for Greenwood

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

Jans Arends and Bahram Chobineh have joined the competition while Jean Ferreira and Luc Greenwood tangled in a small battle of the Canadians. The flop showed {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Greenwood had checked over to Ferreira on the button, who announced a bet of 1,300 and tossed out a T-5,000 chip. Greenwood check-raised to 3,600 and Ferreira gave it just brief consideration before electing to fold.

Heath Takes From Coppola

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

A raise to 500 by Ben Heath was followed up by a three-bet to 1,700 by Enrico Coppola from one seat over and Heath tossed in the extra chips to see a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}. Heath checked and called Coppola's continuation bet of 1,800.

The {4-Clubs} on the turn went check, check, and Heath led the {J-Clubs} river for 2,800 to claim the pot uncontested. While the hand played out, tournament staff was waiting to move players and open another table. The chosen ones were the next two big blinds James Romero and Quan Zhou, and the new entries in the growing field were Timothy Adams, Fahredin Mustafov and Jean-Noel Thorel.

Keranen Gets Some Chips Back

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

The start into the €10,300 High Roller hasn't been as kind for Kyle Keranen and he quickly dropped to around half the starting stack. Just now the American recovered some chips when three-betting on the button against Bahram Chobineh, who called to see a {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop. Keranen's continuation bet was called before the {A-Hearts} on the turn brought a check by Keranen, a bet of 2,400 by Chobineh and a call.

Both checked the {2-Spades} on the river and Chobineh showed {4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, Keranen had that beat with {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}.

Chobineh Chips Up; Piqué Folds to Shove

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

Picking up the action on the {J-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} turn, Grzegorz Grochulski bet 3,000 into 6,000 and Gerard Piqué raised to 10,000. Grochulski moved all in and Piqué folded.

Matthew Moss forfeited a portion of his stack in a hand against Bahram Chobineh when facing a bet o 11,500 on the {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{3-Spades} river and folded. The next hand, Moss opened to 500 and Chobineh three-bet to 1,500. Sirzat Hissou, Rui Neves Ferreira did so out of the big blind and Moss also came along. On the {Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop, action checked to Chobineh and his 3,000-bet was called by Neves only, the {7-Diamonds} turn was checked through.

Neves also checked the {5-Diamonds} on the river and Chobineh's bet of 2,500 won the pot without resistance. "Good fold," he added and flashed the {Q-Diamonds}.
